- Abdicate (v.), to give up all hope of ever having a flat stomach.
- Esplanade (v.), to attempt an explanation while drunk.
- Negligent (adj.), describes a condition in which you absentmindedly answer the door in your nightgown.
- Flatulence (n.) emergency vehicle that picks you up after you are run over by a steamroller.
- Rectitude (n.), the formal, dignified bearing adopted by proctologists.
